If I recall correctly - they were HS sweethearts. I'm sure he controlled her from the beginning. In that sense -- it's as good as stalking. MOOI wonder if he ever stalked his wife prior to marriage.
So agree with you. To this sicko, the working on his car is the perfect alibi. Narcissistic, pathological liar only cares about himself and surely thinks he can get away with anything.
Following a slew of detailed allegations, judge keeps accused lunch break killer in jail
Saal left work at 12:47p which would get him to Hunters Glen @1p when screams were heard by Carolyn’s neighbors. Police pegged his car in the vicinity of Hunters Glen @ 2:04p and also cellphone pings put him in that area at that time. That would give him @ 40 minutes to get back to work for meeting with boss. He may have been able to drive down Canal Pointe Blvd & back to work but not much time for fixing a car.
I'm not sure that he worked out an alibi in advance. But if he did, he barely thought it through. When the police asked him if he took a lunch that day and where he went, he said just to a park area nearby, do some work on my car. The the police interviewer asked, "Did you EAT lunch?" and he totally froze...long deep breath...nervous sounding sigh... and not have an answer ready at all. "Uhhhh.....that's a good question."do people think that he worked out this alibi in advance, or was it just the first thing that popped into his head when he was going to be late?
Does anyone know when the next court date is? I want to keep an eye on the news. So disappointed that more information hasn’t been shared publicly.
Or to try and kindle a relationship, which she rejected and it went downhill from there. I had the feeling from the beginning when we learned about his arrest, that it was an obsessional kind of love interest, on his part solely. JMOI don’t know the mind of such a person — I wonder if his intentions at first being in her apt. was not to kill her but maybe she defended herself finding him in her home, and he wound up killing her ???
I’d don’t know... then again if you don’t kill the person, how do you go back to working with she/he afterwards and everything be “ok”..
Maybe he was in her place to hide and watch her and not kill her that day but she caught him.. ?
I was thinking that he might have had the ego to say to himself "If I can only get her alone, I can convince her...because he wanted to have a physical relationship with her, which would require more privacy...JMO, of course.I don’t think winding up in her home (which I think she didn’t let him in best I recall) ... was to kindle a relationship?? If he’s a thrill seeker in this way I think maybe he just wanted to get in close proximity to she ...without her knowing???
Then again, you may be right... I don’t know how a situation as such in this type of persons mind “makes sense” and how it escalates...
I feel for she—an innocent, young woman ....and her friends and family especially, left with this to live with, without Carolyn.
And this guy’s wife and young child too ...
I think he did plan this out, the problem is that he wasn't as clever as he thought he was. The main thing that did him in was that he didn't account for his cell phone giving away his location. The fact that he was at the apartment complex both before and after the murder shows me that he was planning out his steps and trying to stay ahead of the investigation. Him having a scheduled meeting after the murder would help his alibi because it would throw doubt on how he could commit such a gruesome act and then show up to work it actually plays into his narrative. That along with being in a secluded park fixing his car. I think the question of did he eat lunch was used to throw off his rehearsed answers. He probably practiced what he would say to the point that a random yet common question like that would throw off his lies because he wouldn't have accounted for that in his planning. I think he stalked her to learn her routines, see how long it takes her to get home, how often. Any vantage points, How long it would take him to quickly leave. Were there any cameras or places he could hide, how many people were around at different times of the day. I definitely think he planned this out carefully.
But didn’t he ask someone or people an odd question at work (I can’t recall exactly) that caused them to suspect him?
